CONN: MS Mail Connection Gateway Needs Purge on Novell

• Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

When the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks database is located on a Novell NetWare version 4.1 server, the Mail Connection Gateway must have the purge option turned on for the MS Mail Connection Gateway store directory on the postoffice or it may hang.

WORKAROUND

To enable the purge option, do the following:

1. At the console prompt, type the following:

   LOAD SERVMAN




2. Choose Console Set Commands from the Available Options menu.



3. Choose File System from the Categories menu.



4. Change the following parameters in the File system menu to the indicated values:

   Immediate Purge on Deleted Files=ON
   File Deleted Wait Time=0
   Minimum File Delete Wait Time=0




5. Press the Escape key (ESC) twice to reach the Update Options menu.



6. Choose Update AUTOEXEC.NCF & STARTUP.NCF Now from the Update Options menu.



7. To exit SERVMAN, press the Escape key (ESC).

MORE INFORMATION

If the Mail Connection Gateway user account that logs into the Novell NetWare version 4.1 server does not purge when it deletes files, the Macintosh side of the gateway and the PC side of the gateway will appear to have different files in the subdirectory. The Macintosh will try to pick up the previously deleted files, and the gateway will appear to freeze.
